Banana Snickers Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 4 tbsp peanut butter
- 4 to 5 tbsp dark chocolate, melted
- ¼ tsp coconut oil
- 3 tbsp chopped peanuts
- Sea salt, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the bananas: Peel the bananas and cut each in half lengthwise. Then cut each half into two parts, yielding a total of 8 banana slices. Arrange the banana slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread peanut butter: Evenly spread peanut butter over each banana slice, ensuring full coverage. This adds creaminess and enhances flavor.
- Add peanuts and salt: Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the peanut butter layer on each slice for crunch, then add a small pinch of sea salt to enhance the sweet and salty contrast.
- Melt chocolate: Combine dark chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 30-second increments, stirring between intervals, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Drizzle chocolate: Using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate generously over each peanut butter covered banana slice.
- Freeze: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the banana Snickers for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate hardens completely. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and the best flavor.
- You can use crunchy or smooth peanut butter based on preference.
- Dark chocolate with at least 70% cacao adds rich flavor and less sugar.
- The coconut oil helps to thin the chocolate for easy drizzling and sets well when frozen.
- Store the banana Snickers in an airtight container in the freezer to keep them firm.
- For a nut-free option, substitute chopped peanuts with seeds or omit them entirely.
